Hi, FreeType:
We are Taishan IT, a Chinese compoany. We are using FreeType and we had improved some features:
1, For font italic, now can give and value.
2, For font line, now can be thicker or bolder by weight.
3, New type for font italic. Chinese language has a Top To Bottom text direction, and the font italic is top to bottom.
We hope to meet those code at next version. And we are working hard to improve bitmap features. We hope to open source this year.
We has a open source on github :
Attach files are:
1, source code improved by tsit.
2, Image for Font italic, chinese font italic mode, and the italic value is 0.35(default is 0.20).
3, Image for Font line (thicker or bolder).
Best Regards.
